This week we had our very first visit to our school library. We listened to one of our favourite books ‘Dear Zoo’ then had a little bit more time to explore our wonderful library.

Instilling a love of reading early gives a child a head start on expanding their vocabulary, building independence and self-confidence. It helps children learn to make sense not only of the world around them but also people, building social-emotional skills and of course, imagination.

We look forward to inviting parents very soon to our lovely library session to share this wonderful experience together. Enjoy the photos.

Last week we created wonderful art with our very own hands. Some of us liked to make handprints with open fingers, with one hand or both hands and others weren’t quite so sure about the gloopy paint on their hands. Well done 2 year olds, it was so much fun!

We welcomed all our new starters and some children returning from last summer term.
We all did lots of playing with our nursery friends and exploring the nursery setting.

We met the school animals : Feeding them, cleaning them and looking after the chickens and the guinea pigs.

The children made some lovely shapes on their paintings and used some amazing colours.
